"When do You sail, captain" queried
Deputy Shipping Commissioner Ferris Of
the master of a Maine schooner.
Guess III set OF on Friday" he
replied.
To the superst;tious land lubber OF re-
porter present this appeared like an un-
orthodox statement, so he asked Deputy
Ferris, himself an old sailor for many
years, IL modern seamen had entirely re-
covered from their old scare OF setting
sail ON Friday. The reporter broke into
the first stanza Of the old sea song:
Twas Friday night when we set sail,
And twas not very far from the land
When the captain sped a jolly mermaid,
With a comb and glass in her hand.
Well" responded Ferris, Il can't
say that the superstition Is entirely gone
from seafaring men, but the great major
ity Of both sailing masters and crews
don't pay the slightest attention to that
day, so ominous TO tradition. When
they're ready with load they 20 at the
most favorable wine, Friday or no Friday,
but We do meet with sailors now
and then who couldn't be induced
to leave port on Friday, just as
you still run across thousands Of
landsmen who never undertake any af-
fair Of Importance on that day. Most OF
these sailors hail from nations like Sweden,
Denmark and Germany, where old super
stitions have still a strong hold on the
people: but American tars don't mind
them at all New York Evening sun.

Proverbially considered, the statement
that 1t never rains but it pours and that
water runs 10 the sea express different
phases OF the same truth, and this par
ticularly irrational, ineXplicable truth
fate spends her time in demonstrating.
For instance, take two things that have
happened to one rich, solitary old man in
this town within two weeks. His name
is well known, though his enormous for
tune is not generally estimated ut its
true proportions; he does not live like a
rich man-is BIT Of y miser. in fact but
as numbers of people know, is the pos
SCISSOR Of numerous millions. He works
hard, as his work is the only thing he
takes an interest in and his only recrea-
ton, taken at the doctors orders, is horse
back riding in the park
To strangers he likes to put up poor
mouth, for one thing, for the simple pleas
ure Of seeing them fooled, and he recently
told business acquaintance that he was
too poor to have a good horse; the bust
ness acquaintance was q rich kentuckian,
not rich IS compared to the other, but
rich for Kentucky. Touched by the old
mans bad mount, thing that seemed
more tragic to him than il would to any
but kentuckian, he presented him with
q superb saddle horse, a son Of Golddust,
perfectly trained and worth a small for
tune. A week later an old Californian,
whom the old sinner had not thought Of
In twenty years, but whom he had known
IN his youth, and who had grown misan-
,hropical with old age and hated every
body around him, dies and leaves said O..
$. another enormous fortune. What is to
be said for world where such things be,

Senator Daniel, Of Virginia like many
other southern men, Is an admirer and
lover O. fine horsefiesh. He was going
the other day to run over to the trotting
races at Hartford when he said: 1T must
eventually come about that the trotting
races will be popular because it is in this
gait that the horse combines utility with
speedy action. 1t is As the roadster that
the horse is most available for pleasure
and practical service. In q recent article
written by Judge Hughes, Of Richmond,
l saw theory advanced in reference to
the development in the trotting gait which
l think have not seen mentioned before.
The thoroughbred animal is to be found
on the great plains and level stretches Of
the country, where his natural gait Is
running. The trotting gait, Judge Hughes
thinks. comes to the animal as he is trans
ferred to undulating countries, where he
is obliged to adapt his footing to rising
and falling thoroughfares. That would
be the natural development Of the run
ming thorouy breds into the trotters. 1t

I have read n great deal in the papers
about slow poisoning processes, but only
believed the various statements when
they were brought home TO me. My
wife, who had been remarkable for her
rugged health and rosy appearance, began
10 fade away. She dwindled to mere
shadow. and vet she reiterated statements
Of good health. Finally, l insisted on
calling in doctor Of high standing, after
an emphatic protest from our regular
physician. \ long diagnosis decided that
my wife was suffering from arsenical
poisoning drawn into the system from q
cheap set Of false teeth, which had been
purchased about q week before the first
symptoms Of weakness had been observed.
Arsenic had been used in the enamel to
secure the glittering whiteness SO much
admired by women, and in the process OF
mastication small particles had been alb
sorbed in the food and taken into the
stomach, where the insidious work OF
destruction was progressing surely TO q
fatal termination. l don't know how
many cases Of the kind may exist, but
from the fact that half a dozen medical
men were bafTied in their attempted dag
nosis, l would not be surprised if thou
sands Of women were poisoned annually
in this way.-Railroad Conductor in

PROGRESSED ANARCHISTS.

The POrcs of Newark Expect Trouble
From Them.
NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 30.-The police of
the city are convinced that serious trouble
with anarchists is only g matter of time
and will develop as coon as labor strike
of any magnitude occurs. There is very
large foreign born population in the city,
nearly one-half. The Irish are to man
opposed to anarchist doctrines and look
upon anarchists with utter contempt.
Among the large German, B 1hemian and
Sisvonian population seeds of anarchy have
been industriously soWn and the German
labor organic .tions are dangerously in
fected by The anarchists ideas. Investi-
cations by the police show that in one
nejghoorhoOd in The fourth police pre-
cinct largely populated by foreigners
there are not less than 200 protested an
archists. They sre bola in their utter.
ances and outspoken in their hatred of
law and lis officials. There is
daily morning sheet, the Arbeiter
Zeitung, published by the "Co-
operstive Publishing Company" in
the interest IF the anarchists. It con-
tains violent appeals to the ignorant for
eieners of its class. An editorial the
other day under the caption "Go On"
boosted that what the anarchists wanted
was persecution. IL exclaimed, "Arrest
our leeders-indict them and send
them to the penitentiery, aud
hang them If you want TO.
We don't care since it has become an
honor to die by your hands on the gal.

to Wales, where be was forced to obtain
police protection against her and her male
companion The last $500 he gave her
was paid in Trafalgar square. She was

stopping the cab, made him get
in ard go with her to the
bank and get the money. She accused

and told of her relations with Mr.. Borlez
Since then, he said, his life had been
